KELLY
My heart lifted unexpectedly as I walked across the parking lot from the
bus stop and caught my first glimpse of Foster’s Lighting and Decor.
It was beautiful.

For weeks now, it seemed that every single store I passed had been
stuffed full of decorations. The big box stores on either side of Foster’s were
crammed with as much bright red, gold, and silver as they could, filling every
square inch. Honestly, it crossed the line and became tacky instead of festive.
But Foster’s had old-fashioned green garlands with tiny gold fairy lights.
There were several red poinsettias, and a classic wreath made from spruce on
the door. Festive, yet traditional. Much classier. I paused in front of the huge
glass window that wrapped around the sides, enjoying it all.
Nan would have approved, likely with a sassy quip. My grandmother
always said that too many decorations meant a store was hiding something.
Like a Christmas sale without discounts – they just stuck bows on things
without actually lowering the prices.
Grief struck me in the center of my chest. I’d been trying not to think
about this being my first holiday season without her. I kept trying to ignore
the feeling as I pushed the front door open, causing a tiny bell to tinkle
overhead.
The store was massive, yet organized. Tidy rows of lighting fixtures and
small decor items stretched so far I could barely see the back wall. There was
something for everyone, with styles that ran from simple to fancy to
ultramodern. There were a lot of glass items, especially near the front
window, which caught the light beautifully.
I’d recently moved into my own apartment, and I looked forward to
decorating properly someday when I had the money to do so. Moving out on
my own had been rough, but I thought I finally had it all together when I
found a job and an apartment not too far from my best friend, Sasha. I didn’t
think I’d be hunting for a second job so soon, but with rent coming, I was
nervous.
There was a handful of customers browsing the aisles, yet no one at the
cash register. The man on the phone had said that one staff member was out
sick for several weeks, and another was injured, which was why they had
urgent need of a temp.
As I wandered the aisles, I spotted a man in a crisp dark suit who clearly
worked there. His large frame moved very slowly along the shelves as he
rotated a lamp slightly, then buffed it carefully with a cloth.
“Excuse me?”
As I approached, I realized how tall he was. And how…oh my. Gorgeous.
His dark hair, short beard, and wide shoulders looked so perfectly classic.
Incredibly handsome.
“Yes?”
